Vintage fandom
Attention, Oklahoma readers: OAFCON 2008 is coming up next month in OKC. From the site:
"Please remember this is not a modern day comic book show. No artist alley, no anime, no new comics. Mostly the dealers bring old comics, pulps, art, books, and etc dateing from 1900-1980. Facsimiles and modern day reprints of older material are welcome and will be available."
I must confess that I only vaguely remember ever hearing about the Oklahoma Alliance of Fans, the hosts of the show (hence OAFcon). I think they might have hosted a small con I went to in 1981, where I picked up a lovely pulp anthology of Robert Sheckley's stories (Store of Infinity, I think) and a full set of the Wonder Bread Star Wars cards. But if Bart is involved, it's bound to be a class act.
